Response from VrboOwner on 3 Aug 2023

Oh 😢 I have to say I’m disappointed that we got a four star review. We have never had anything but five stars . We added special amenities before your arrival at your request. Items like special cookers, large kettle pots for large groups and other items. Actual the washer and dryer was something you had said you needed so I pushed my husband to add it. (I wanted it too) I did contact you a number of times to make sure everything was good and you responded was everything was perfect and place was beautiful. We work very hard to make sure our guest are extremely pleased. We have actually been told that it is nicer than what people had expected from our online presence. Sorry you didn’t feel we deserved a 5 star review. Safe travels!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Parkovic

We know what is important to travelers because we travel ourselves often. We have either the Cabin to sleep up to 6 people or add on the "Bunkhouse" to make room for up to 6 more people for a total of 12 people comfortably. Contact the owner for pricing to add the "Bunkhouse" additional sleeping space and bathroom to your reservation. For pricing information email rent17112@gmail.com

Why they chose this property

This property (land) has been in our family for over 50 years. We purchased it to build a place for the entire family to "get away from it all" and have space for our dogs to run and play. (We do not charge a pet fee). Sit on the covered porch to kickback, relax with a book and listen to the whispers of the windchimes. Checkout your own small magically fairy garden or hike in the woods to discover the animals of the forest. You may see deer, squirrels, and wild birds of all kinds or on a very rear occasion a racoon, bear or whippoorwill on a moon lit starry night . Time to relax and enjoy your stay by a warm campfire roasting marshmallows.

What makes this property unique

Luxury Shabby Chic Style. Great water pressure. All new plumbing, fixtures, and amenities in 2024 were updated. Off the beaten path in the woods but, minutes to great attractions, huge lake (Raystown Lake), shopping, large stores, bars, restaurants, Giant Foods, Walmart, Dollar General, Liquor Stores, Beer Distributors, and fast foods are just minutes away. The brand new Dollar General has everything you can think of from coffee and drinks to toilet paper and sunscreen. Stop in it's just past the light on 22 and 829 at the base of the mountain.
